Answer:

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters

Explanation:

Components of the displacement

The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

$x=r\cos\theta$

The vertical component is calculated by:

$y=r\sin\theta$

The hiker has a displacement with magnitude r = 20.51 m at an angle of 33.16 degrees. Substituting in the above equation:

$y=20.51\sin(33.16^\circ)$

$y=11.22\ m$

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters

Answer:

823.46 kgm/s

Explanation:

At 9 m above the water before he jumps, Henri LaMothe has a potential energy change, mgh which equals his kinetic energy 1/2mv² just as he reaches the surface of the water.

So, mgh = 1/2mv²

From here, his velocity just as he reaches the surface of the water is

v = √2gh

h = 9 m and g = 9.8 m/s²

v = √(2 × 9 × 9.8) m/s

v = √176.4 m/s

v₁ = 13.28 m/s

So his velocity just as he reaches the surface of the water is 13.28 m/s.

Now he dives into 32 cm = 0.32 m of water and stops so his final velocity v₂ = 0.

So, if we take the upward direction as positive, his initial momentum at the surface of the water is p₁ = -mv₁. His final momentum is p₂ = mv₂.

His momentum change or impulse, J = p₂ - p₁ = mv₂ - (-mv₁) = mv₂ + mv₁. Since m = Henri LaMothe's mass = 62 kg,

J = (62 × 0 + 62 × 13.28) kgm/s = 0 + 823.46 kgm/s = 823.46 kgm/s

So the magnitude of the impulse J of the water on him is 823.46 kgm/s

It takes a car 1.75 h to go from mile marker 10 to mile marker 115. What is the average speed of the car? Someone who took this

givi [52]

The distance from mile-mark 10 to mile-mark 115 is (115-10) = 105 miles.

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Speed = (105 miles) / (1.75 hours)

Speed = (105/1.75) (mi/hr)

Speed = 60 mph (B)
